Chapter 149 Moving
Liang Jingyao's words made Lin Xiaoyue feel very uncomfortable. She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't want to say it out loud and hurt Liang Jingyao's feelings.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later. Maybe I’m just thinking too much!
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay! Then you decide, any amount is fine! Let's go eat first. The noodles won't taste good if they clump together!"
After dinner, two carriages were already waiting outside. Several Cheetah soldiers were moving things back and forth in the yard, and the drunkard kept giving orders.
It turned out that when Liang Jingyao was on his way back from the teahouse just now, he thought of agreeing to the old drunkard's request, so he went to the ruined temple and called a few Cheetah Army soldiers over. He originally wanted them to protect Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun, but he didn't expect that they would later plan to move, and they could help!
It took about half an incense stick of time to load the carriage, and it took another incense stick of time to unload the luggage after the carriage reached the small door in the backyard of the teahouse!
When Lin Xiaoyue entered the backyard, she was startled by the strong smell of blood. How much torture had those chefs from Jueweilou suffered here?
She walked quickly to the kitchen, but there was no body in the kitchen, only bloodstains on the ground!
Liang Jingyao walked up to her and said, "I had them carried away and buried! Don't be sad, I will avenge them!"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed deeply and said sadly, "Let's arrange for everyone to stay first! Only the east and west wings in the backyard are always occupied. I want to let Dad live in the east wing, and then clean up the utility room next to it, and Yunyun and I can live there."
Liang Jingyao didn't want Lin Xiaoyue to feel so wronged. "You two should stay in the east wing, and the drunkard should live in the west wing. The utility room next to it needs to store his things. There will be assassins coming at any time these days, and Amian and I will take turns to lead the guard, so we can just lean on any side to sleep for a while. When this is over, Amian and I will live in the restaurant, and build the backyard over there as soon as possible so that everyone has a place to live!"
Lin Xiaoyue had no other choice now. She could only understand each other in the current situation. "Alas... I'm sorry to trouble you and Mr. Gu!"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "No, it's okay for us men to live a rough life. You go and rest for a while, I'll clean up with them."
Lin Xiaoyue had no desire to rest. She rolled up her sleeves and began to tidy up the kitchen. "I'm not tired, I'll help clean up too. One more thing. After Zhan Ying and Manager Yao sent Prince Jingnan back to the capital, there has been no news. Did Emperor Liang secretly execute him?"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "I don't know. Our goal has been achieved. Whether King Jingnan is dead or alive is no longer important to us. I'll go out and make some arrangements first. You wait for me to come back and clean up the kitchen together!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded perfunctorily and said "OK", but did not stop what she was doing.
Liang Jingyao saw this and felt both distressed and helpless. He quickly went out to arrange things and then came back to accompany Lin Xiaoyue to clean the kitchen.
By the time the entire teahouse was cleaned up, it was already dark!
At this time, smoke was already rising from the kitchen. Lin Xiaoyue gathered the remaining ingredients in the kitchen and simply made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with chili peppers, shredded potatoes with green peppers, fried peanuts, black fungus, tofu and egg drop soup, and a large plate of large chunks of boiled pork. Lin Xiaoyue specially made a dipping sauce for the boiled pork!
The aroma of food wafted out of the kitchen, making everyone drool!
The old wine freak came in looking for some wine. Seeing all the dishes, he grabbed a plate of fried peanuts, then picked up a pot of wine and walked out. "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready! Those who are slow will miss out!"
Lin Xiaoyue laughed, picked up two plates of food and walked towards the main room, "Haha, don't listen to my dad's nonsense! I fried a lot, everyone can eat it!"
Soon, the eight-person table in the main hall was filled with eight people, and five large dishes were placed on the table. Because of Liang Jingyao's status, he sat in the main seat, flanked by Jiu Laoguai and Lin Xiaoyue, followed by Gu Mian and Chen Yunyun, and then the Cheetah Army.
The old wine freak couldn't wait to drink the wine. The fried peanuts were placed in front of him. He ate a sip of wine and a peanut, which made him feel much better. "I didn't expect that the girl had such a skill. I, an old man, will have a good meal in the future!"
Liang Jingyao didn't care about these things. He even picked up two pieces of white-cut pork dipped in sauce and placed them in front of the drunkard. "Yue'er said that this is the first time she cooked for you, so she made so many dishes. We are all taking advantage of you today! You should eat more!"
The drunken old monster picked up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth. His mouth was full of oil and he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. "Very good! I never thought that an old man like me would have a day of happiness! It was worth it!"
As he spoke, the old drunkard's eyes became moist. He took a big gulp of wine, which eased his feeling of being touched and sad.
Lin Xiaoyue also picked up a piece of white-cut pork and put it in the old drunkard's bowl, "Dad, I will cook for you every day in the future. Your blessings are still to come!"
The drunkard wiped away the tears that were about to fall, nodded and said, "Girl, you're right! My fortune is yet to come!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt her nose sore. She took a deep breath and suppressed the tears that were about to well up.
After dinner, Chen Yunyun didn't want Lin Xiaoyue to be too tired, so she rushed to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. Jiu Laoguai was anxious to pack up the medicinal herbs he had brought, and when he left, he pulled away Gu Mian who wanted to be a light bulb, so Liang Jingyao and Lin Xiaoyue were left sitting in the main room awkwardly.
Fortunately, Liang Jingyao quickly stood up and broke the awkward atmosphere. "Let's go for a walk in the yard to help digest the food."
Lin Xiaoyue had nothing to do, so she followed along. "Okay! By the way, where have Zhan Ying and the others been? Why haven't they come back in so long?"
Liang Jingyao replied, "During the day, I asked them to pretend to be refugees and rob things to confuse the crowd, so they won't come back for the time being."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Are you planning to keep those shopkeepers that the county magistrate has locked up? I think we can deal with them secretly, and then have the Cheetah Army pretend to be them and go back to open their shops. That way, maybe we can get news from Emperor Liang faster!"
Liang Jingyao had been worrying about this matter during the day. It was definitely not possible to keep these shopkeepers locked up all the time, but if he let them go, they would only bite more fiercely and even implicate the county magistrate!
The premise for Yangming Town not to be lost is that the local officials must be our own people!
Liang Jingyao slapped his thigh happily and said, "That's a good idea! I'll go find the county magistrate now!"
Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Liang Jingyao's sleeve and said with a smile, "I'm going too!"
Liang Jingyao knew that if he said no, Lin Xiaoyue would definitely have plenty of reasons to convince him. He reached out and gently rubbed Lin Xiaoyue's head, "Okay! Stand firm!"
